Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
Do i have something set up wrong?

It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
turn on iMessage in the settings
uncheck your email and phone number
turn off iMessage
Settings>Messages
If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

  • I'm not receiving texts from other iphone users

    I cannot receive texts from certain people in my contact list.  My imessaging is turned off and when I go to turn it on says "waiting on activation" so I attempt to sign in with my apple ID and password and it says please check your network connection. Its been doing this for days.  It doesnt matter where I am, how many bars I have or if I'm connected to Wifi. 
    I am PRAYING someone can help me here since even the store cant.
    If I dont get this figured out, I'll have no other choice but to uprade to Samsung.
    Also since updating to the dreaded ios7 I cannot use Snapchat, and myinstagram and facebook do not integrate together.

    If they are receiving that error message, it corrected and you are deregistered from iMessage

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.

  • Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

    My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

  • Have iphone5s-unless I am in wifi, I cant receive texts from other iphone users unless their imessage is turned off. Help

    If in wifi zone I have no problems as the imessage to immesage works.  However, when wifi off and cellular data on I cannot recieve texts from an iphone user unless their immessage is turned off.  These iphone uses recieve my messages but I do not recieve the replies.  Help?

    Under Settings>Messages>
    Make sure Send as SMS is on . If it is on and the error still occurs go to Send and Recieve, and make sure your phone number is the ONLY thing listed.

  • Why can't my Iphone 4s  receive texts from other iphone users?

    I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

        Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
    You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

  • I'm not receiving texts from other iphones.  Help?

    My text messaging is acting weird--I receive all of them except any from other iPhone users.  Needless to say, this is very inconvenient.  I don't know what happened, cause I've had the phone for a few months now, but hadn't had any issues until the last couple weeks.  As far as I can remember, I haven't changed any settings or anything.  Anyone have any ideas?

    That was a asinine and catty response.  I and many others have the same problem.  turning off imessage is not an effective solution.  I have turned off imessage, deactivated the phone with apple and wiped the phone clean.  the problem persists.

  • When iMessage is off, I dont receive texts from other iPhone users.

    I do not like iMessage because it uses data so I have it off.
    BUT I do not receieve the Text messages from other iPhone users. BUT my mac does gets them.
    What I am trying to say is that Person A sends me a text to my phone number from the Text Message app, but since they have iMessage on it goes to my MAC instead of my iPhone.. I dont get it.

    Imessage doesn't use data.  I would say SMS uses more data.
    When you turn off imessage on your Mac what happens?

  • Not receiving texts from non-iOS users

    I upgraded to iOS7 and am not receiving text messages from non-iOS users. Unlike the iOS bug reported in the news which affects imessage, my phone seems not to be getting or sending texts to anyone on Android or Blackberry.
    I tried rebooting the phone a few times and reset the network settings, the problem persists.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Not receiving texts from some contacts

    I have the Verizon Juke phone, and have been using the model for years. Recently, I had an issue on a previous Juke device where I was no longer receiving texts from particular contacts, while others were coming through. Everyone was able to receive my texts, however. The problem always happened between me and two or three others at the same time, so it had nothing to do with their personal phone settings. The texts from them to me would get backlogged without being delivered, then arrive en masse a week or two later all at once, and it was always random, without me fiddling around with phone settings or anything of the sort.
    I assumed that it was an issue with that Juke, so I bought a new one and activated it, but it did not fix the problem. I had to call Verizon support, and after about an hour of troubleshooting, they informed me that the only solution was to remove the texting feature from my phone, then reinstate it, ultimately losing every text that was stuck in backlog. Although I lost those texts, my phone regained its functionality. The solution worked for about a month, but recently it has returned, and I would like to have a permanent fix, so that I may always receive texts from all of my contacts. As I mentioned, it is a system issue, and it has nothing to do with others' iPhone settings or anything of the sort. Thanks!

        Hello Kalysm,
    I am so sorry you are experiencing these issues with your phone. I know it's upsetting to not get your message, especially when you've put effort into troubleshooting, and the issue continues. Just to make sure, do you have the area code programmed into your contacts for each of the people you've had issues with? The number should have the area code, but not have a 1 in front of it.
    If you've already confirmed the number is listed correctly, and the problem is persisting, our Technical Support team can file a network ticket to get this issue resolved once and for all. They can be reached at 800-922-0204.
    Thank you,
